Currently the most commen crypto airdrops require a few simple social media task. These projects use an airdrop as a viral marketing technique. Example of this format is BRD airdrop.

Many airdrops have a referral system in place, which allows your to earn more tokens. Read our tips & tricks on how to optimize your income with referral airdrops.

A Hardfork is a less common, but well known way to do an airdrop. At a certain block number a chain Hard fork's in to two separate chains. if both chains get miner and community support you now have 2 separate coins! The most famous examples of this are Bitcoin Cash & Ethereum Classic.

Exclusive airdrops are hosted and managed by us. If you are a blockchain startup looking for help with your campaign, request an exclusive airdrop by AirdropAlert.com and you'll surely get verified users.

Every airdrop has a different set of rules.

The current trend with new airdrops require retweets on Twitter, usually you need a minimum amount of followers. Make sure you have active social media accounts to be eligible for these free crypto tokens.

Most airdrops of today require to join their Telegram group so make sure to download the Telegram app.

Community building is most important for any startup, not only the ones in the blockchain space. Proof of community is valuable to new projects.

If you're not paying for the product, you are the product. By doing an airdrop the project creates awareness about their ICO or token. It brings people to the project that otherwise would not have owned or heard about it. It could lead to token price appreciation, since people value a token they own higher than a token they don't own. This is called the endowment effect.

Airdrops create a community/network of people who own the tokens. If you would list the token distribution after an ICO in a pie graph, a large part of the pie is still owned by the Dev's or project. Another large part is owned by people who joined a pre-sale. And a reasonable part is owned by people who invested in the ICO. An airdrop adds an extra slice to the pie and that slice will have the most people in it.

An airdrop also plants a seed in your mind. When you look at Coinmarketcap you will see a list of thousand coins. Just on page one you can see 100 coins listed. However if you have or had a coin that name is still in your brain. The seed is planted and whenever you check Coinmarketcap and scroll down, the name of the free e-Coin will jump out and people will check how it is doing. If they see an article that the free e-Token is doing well or bad, they are more likely to click it if they own it or previously have owned it. It's just like advertising!

We currently see that projects are concerned about upcoming regulations for blockchain and airdrops. This is why we see a rise in airdrops that require to pass KYC. At AirdropAlert.com we provide a solution for this. KYC with us once and you will be KYC verified for all exclusive airdrops we host.

Many coins that do airdrops are PRE-ICO or just finished their ICO. This often means it is not traded yet on the bigger exchanges. You can check out our exchange page to see where you can best sell your crypto airdrops.

We suggest you make an account at all exchanges we listed so you can easily sell and receive your crypto airdrops.

We hope you receive as many airdrops as possible and that they increase in value over time. Many projects that are now top 40 coins have done airdrops in their early stages, like NEM, DECRED & Ripple. You don't need to immediately sell your free crypto, there is nothing wrong with being a HODLer.

The safest way to store your airdrops are hardware & cold storage wallets. These wallets store your coins offline, and therefore protect them from being hacked. There are a number of hardware wallets available. We would advise to use read our blog on the best cold storage wallets.

Not all cryptocurrency can be stored in hardware wallets. We advise you to store your crypto in wallets where you control your private keys. You don't want your free crypto to be stolen! Read our 6 (and a half) tips on online security here.

To avoid scams we have a few general rules:

Never give your private keys!

Use 2 Factor Authentication on your wallets

Never click on links redirecting to wallets

Don’t use your main email address to apply for airdrops

Don’t re-use your passwords when you register on a website

If you are looking to store your coins on an online wallet, we have written several beginners guides to set up Ethereum, Bitcoin, Litecoin & Ripple wallets. We want you to safely store the airdrops you collect and will try to guide you along the way.

If you are scrolling through our website, you might run into "unverified airdrops". These airdrops did not pass the approval of our due diligence team. This does not mean they are instantly labeled as "scams'. However, we could not find enough verification points to list this as an airdrop for our users.

We strive to post safe and legitimate airdrops for our community. This way you, as a user, can get the best airdrop experience!

We strive to keep our website free of scam projects. Our team provides research behind each coin we list. However it is still possible we miss a scam project. Recently some projects changed their google form asking for private keys after we list them on our website. We award people with $5 worth in Ethereum if you email us about a scam on our website under upcoming or active airdrops. Help us to keep the site clean and prevent other people to be a victim of a scam. Login to your Airdrop Dashboard and contact our support through our ticket system.

Please note that listing on AirdropAlert is free. Because we have a very long queue of pending Airdrops to be listed on AirdropAlert it might take several days for your Airdrop to be published. If you want your Airdrop to be reviewed before others, apply for paid priority.
